Description

The invention relates to a profile arrangement with a frame profile and a rotatably angegeschlagenen wing profile, preferably a window or door profile assembly, wherein the frame profile and the wing profile is formed respectively from an outer and an inner profile half-shell, which are interconnected by means of at least one insulating web. A similar profile arrangement is also from the U.S. 4,084,361 known. Such profile arrangements are known in the art. Due to the rotationally movable stop of the wing profile on the frame profile, the size of the gap formed in the stop area is dependent on the respective angular position of the wing profile relative to the frame profile in an opening or closing operation of the wing relative to the frame. Such a variable gap size involves considerable accident risks. There are therefore known from the prior art anti-pinch devices, which are arranged to reduce squash injuries centrally in a connection region between the profile half-shells.
Such known solutions now have the disadvantage that the thermal properties of the profile arrangement are significantly deteriorated by arranging such known anti-pinch devices in the gap or in the connection region of the gap, as in particular in metallic profile half-shells, which are interconnected by means of insulating webs, although an undesirable Heat transfer between each connected by means of the Isolierstege profile half-shells can be reduced by forming a hollow chamber between the respective connected profile half shells, but in the region of the gap and arranged in the connection area in the gap clamping protection devices on a relatively short distance a significantly increased heat transfer can take place.

Furthermore, in the previously known solutions of disadvantage that a tightness, for example, rainwater is not always guaranteed. Thus, it can happen with centrally arranged in the connection area in the gap prior art anti-trap devices that ensure after repeated opening and closing the sash profile, the prior art anti-pinch devices, for example due to fatigue no dense completion. Especially with increased wind load, i. in standing on known prior art anti-pinch devices within the gap wind pressure, rainwater can enter the gap area or be pushed by the wind.

On the basis of the above-described problems, the invention has the object of developing an aforementioned profile arrangement with a frame profile and a rotatably struck wing profile to the effect that the thermal properties and tightness in the gap area are improved, while improving the anti-trap.

This object is achieved by the features of independent claim 1.

In particular, the object is achieved in that a profile arrangement with a frame profile and a rotatably angegeschlagenen wing profile, wherein the frame profile and the wing profile is formed respectively from an outer and an inner profile half shell, wherein the profile half shells are connected to each other by means of at least one insulating web, wherein in Stop area between the frame profile and wing profile is formed a gap, further comprising at least one Spaltabdeckeinrichtung which has at least one fastening element for fixing to one of the profile half shells and a flexible tab for at least partially covering the gap.

The fact that at least one fastening element is provided on the Spaltabdeckeinrichtung on the one hand, which ensures the position holding on the respective profile half shell, and on the other hand a flexible tab is provided which serves the at least partially covering the gap, the tightness is significantly improved by the inventive solution. At the same time, while retaining the advantageous thermal properties of the thermally-separated profile half shells, effective pinch protection, i. Protection against crush injuries in the gap when opening or closing the wing guaranteed.

Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

According to a further aspect of the invention, it is provided that at least one of the two half-shells in each case of the sash profile and / or of the frame profile has a fastening region for the at least one fastening element of the at least one gap covering device.

As a result, a simple attachment of the at least one Spaltabdeckeinrichtung to the respective half-shell of the respective profile in a simple manner possible.

According to a further aspect of the invention, it is provided that the at least one fastening region has at least one preferably substantially C-shaped retaining element. The at least one fastening element of the at least one Spaltabdeckeinrichtung is in this case formed such that it is connected to the holding element by clipping in connection or can be brought into connection.

Such a substantially C-shaped holding element in this case allows an even simpler, very reliable fastening of the at least one Spaltabdeckeinrichtung. Furthermore, with regard to these mounting options existing profiles can be used.

According to a further aspect of the invention, it is provided that the at least one fastening region and the at least one fastening element of the at least one Spaltabdeckeinrichtung are engaged or engageable in such a way that a transfer of supporting forces within a straight cutting plane is ensured by the respective profile half-shell in all directions.

Advantageously, neither a substantially C-shaped retaining element is used in the at least one mounting area for this purpose. In this case, provision can be made for a plurality of fastening elements to be provided along a region of the at least one gap covering device on the sides of the gap covering device, wherein at least one of these fastening elements is clipped into the claw of the substantially C-shaped retaining element. Due to the special training is particularly ensured that both tensile and compressive forces in the connecting direction of the respective interconnected profile half-shells, as well as tensile and compressive forces perpendicular to this connection direction in the respective profile half shell, on which the mounting portion is formed, are introduced, so that a very stable, slip-proof seat of at least one Spaltabdeckeinrichtung is guaranteed. As a result, the tightness and the thermal properties are further improved.

According to a further aspect of the invention, it is provided that the fastening region and the at least one fastening element are designed such that a substantially watertight seal is formed between the fastening region and the gap covering device.

Due to the stable attachment of the at least one Spaltabdeckeinrichtung to the respective profile half-shell and by at least partially covering the gap between the profiles by the tab of the at least one Spaltabdeckeinrichtung thus penetration of rainwater is effectively reduced or avoided in the gap area.

For this purpose, it can be provided that the tab of the at least one Spaltabdeckeinrichtung at least partially and at least in a closed position of the sash and frame profile on the respective profile half shell, which is opposite the associated attachment region of the respective Spaltabdeckeinrichtung abuts.

In other words, it may be provided that the tab has an extension substantially perpendicular to the connecting direction of the respective profile half-shells, which is at least so long that the entire opening area of the gap is covered, for example, to a stop element on the respective opposite profile. However, it may also be envisaged that the tab is partially, i. in particular in its end region, in a closed position of sash profile and frame profile over a relatively large area, for example 5 mm or more, abuts against such a stop. In this way, tightness and thermal properties can be further improved and a particularly effective protection against crushing can be ensured since, in a closed position of the sash profile and the frame profile, it is difficult to press the gap covering device into the gap area.

It should be noted that the flexibility of the tab of at least one Spaltabdeckeinrichtung is designed, for example, by appropriate choice of material such that while a largely unhindered opening and closing of the rotatably angegeschlagenen wing profile on the frame profile is possible, however, pressing the Spaltabdeckeinrichtung, which also serves as a pinch protection , in the gap area only under relatively large effort is possible.

In accordance with a further aspect of the invention, it is provided that the at least one gap covering device is arranged outside a connection region of the outer and inner profile half shells.

Due to the fact that in the connection area, i. Based on the direction of connection of the profile half shells in a region which is defined by the insulating webs, the thermal separation between outside and inside of elementary importance, can be avoided by arranging the at least one Spaltabdeckeinrichtung outside of this connection area a thermally critical covering and thereby bridging this Isolierbereiches become.

According to a further aspect of the invention it is provided that the frame profile and the wing profile are constructed symmetrically to each other.

As a result, a particularly simple structure by using similar profiles for frame and sash is possible, whereby the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

Advantageously, in combination with such symmetrical to each other constructed profiles, but also with different structure of the respective profiles can be provided that at least one of the inner profile half shells and at least one of the outer profile half shells each a mounting region is formed, each of these attachment areas receives a Spaltabdeckeinrichtung. In mutually symmetrical structure of the frame and wing profile can here in an advantageous manner in both cases a similarly constructed Spaltabdeckeinrichtung be used, which further simplifies the structure and further reduces the cost of manufacture.

Furthermore, characterized in that both outside and inside each Spaltapdeckeinrichtung is provided, an improved anti-jamming ensures both the access of the gap from the outside and from the inside.

In this context, it is provided that, when providing a respective Spaltabdeckeinrichtung on the inside and on the outside by at least partially applied to the respective profile half shells tabs of the respective Spaltabdeckeinrichtungen a largely tight isolation chamber in the connection region between the outer and the inner profile half shells between the frame profile and wing profile is formed when frame profile and sash profile are in a closed position.

Such an insulating chamber corresponds in its thermal effect in approximately a hollow chamber, as it is formed in the connecting region between the respective profile half-shells and the insulating webs connecting them. As a result, a largely uniform and thus improved thermal separation between the outside and inside is ensured when the wing and frame are in a closed position.

In an advantageous manner, it can be provided that the insulating chamber has an extension in the connecting direction of the profile half-shells, which at least the same size as the extent of the at least one insulating bar. In other words, the insulating chamber has a thermal separation path in the connection direction, which is at least as great as the distance of the thermal separation along the hollow chambers.

The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to a drawing:

Fig. 1 shows a horizontal sectional view of a profile arrangement 100 according to the invention according to a first embodiment. A wing profile 20 is rotatably arranged relative to a fixed frame profile 10 and represents, for example, a window or a door. For the sake of simplicity, the door hinge in the embodiment according to Fig. 1 Not shown. The frame profile 10 is formed from an outer profile half shell 11 and an inner profile half shell 12, which are connected to each other by means of two insulating webs 13 to form a hollow chamber 14. Similarly, the symmetrically formed to the frame profile 10 wing profile 20 is formed of an outer profile half-shell 21 and an inner profile half-shell 22, which are connected to form a hollow chamber 24 by means of two insulating webs 23. In the in Fig. 1 Below area shown on the wing profile 20, a surface element 90 is supported, which may be, for example, a glazing. The wing profile 20 is opposite the frame profile 10 such spaced rotatably arranged in that in Fig. 1 shown closed position, a gap 40 between the profiles 10, 20 is formed.

On the wing profile 20 and on the outer half-shell 21, a mounting portion 24a is formed, which in turn has a substantially C-shaped holding member 25a. In this fastening region 24a and in the holding element 25a, a lower fastening element 31a and a fastening element 32a of a gap covering device 30a received by the C-shaped claw of the retaining element 25a are accommodated, so that an introduction of supporting forces, ie in particular also of wind loads, on the gap covering device 30a acting within the in the embodiment according to Fig. 1 Section shown is guaranteed in all directions.

The Spaltabdeckeinrichtung 30a has an at least partially flexibly formed tab 30a and is overall preferably integrally formed of a suitable material such as EPDM or the like. The tab 33a is located in the Fig. 1 shown closed position in an upper region over several millimeters at one formed on the outer profile half-shell 11 of the frame profile 10 stop area, whereby the gap 40 is completely covered and a substantial tightness against rainwater entering both in the mounting portion 24a, as well as in the connection region 16, 26 is guaranteed.

In the connecting direction, a symmetrically formed fastening region 24b is formed on the inner profile half-shell 12 of the frame profile 10, in which analogous manner to the above-described fastening element 31b, 32b of another Spaltabdeckeinrichtung 30b engage.

During an opening operation of the wing 20 relative to the frame 10, the tab 33b of the gap covering device 30b, which is designed to be flexible at least in some regions, is reversibly deformed. The tab 33b turns itself on return to the in Fig. 1 illustrated closed position of frame section 10 and wing profile 20 back to their original position, so that in this closed position between the lower insulating web 13, which connects the outer profile half shell 11 with the inner profile half-shell 12 of the frame profile 10, the upper insulating web 23, the outer Profile half-shell 21 with the inner profile half shell 22 of the wing profile 20 connects, and the Spaltabdeckeinrichtungen 30a, 30b and their tabs 33a, 33b, an insulating chamber 34 is formed.

This results in a largely uniform thermal separation through the hollow chambers 14, 24 and the additionally formed insulating chamber 34 in the closed position. Furthermore, an effective penetration of moisture, such as rainwater, even at relatively high wind pressure load, reduced. Furthermore, effective anti-trap protection, i. provides protection against crushing injuries in that an intervention in the gap 40 is avoided in that the tabs 33a, 33b of the Spaltabdeckeinrichtungen 30a, 30b cover the gap.

Fig. 2 shows a horizontal sectional view of the profile arrangement 100 according to the invention according to a further embodiment of the invention. In essence, the illustration is equivalent to Fig. 2 the sectional view Fig. 1 , By the choice of compared to the in Fig. 1 used for coming longer insulating bars 13, 23, both the frame section 10 and the wing profile 20 on a larger profile width. As a result of the gap covering devices 30a, 30b being arranged completely outside the connecting region 16, 26, ie outside the critical insulating region, one and the same circumferential gap covering devices 30a, 30b can be used for different profile widths, which simplifies manufacture and use and costs lowers.

As seen from the side sectional view according to Fig. 3 to a threshold area of the profile assembly 100 from Fig. 1 it can be seen, there is the broken line indicated Spaltabdeckeinrichtung 30a in the same plane as the drainage opening 50 with associated stop seal 51, which makes a simple, effective drainage possible.

Fig. 4 shows a corresponding overhead area, ie one in the in Fig. 3 represented threshold area opposite region, the profile arrangement 100 according to the invention according to the embodiment of Fig. 1 in a side sectional view.

It should be noted at this point that all parts described above taken alone and in any combination, in particular the details shown in the drawings are claimed as essential to the invention. Variations thereof are familiar to the person skilled in the art.
